British Airways has mapped out a bigger summer 2027 timetable, adding three European routes and reshuffling two existing ones. Announced on 10 November, the plan links London Heathrow with Bergen, Glasgow with Nice and Edinburgh with Split — plus an airport swap for Skiathos and Perugia services.
Bergen kicks things off first. From 15 April, BA will fly from Heathrow Terminal 3 five days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays) until 30 October, with all arrivals landing in Norway's second city before noon. That early arrival matters: Bergen is the classic jumping-off point for western Norway's fjords, and the schedule is built to feed into Heathrow connections from New York, Boston, Miami and Chicago — a nod to growing North American interest even without direct transatlantic flights into Bergen. The city's airport handled 6.5 million passengers in 2025, 41% of them international.
The Mediterranean routes both fall to BA Cityflyer, operating once a week. Glasgow to Nice starts on 16 May and runs Sunday mornings until 3 October, touching down on the Riviera at 10:55 — in time for lunch. Return flights leave Nice on Saturdays at 13:00 from 15 May. Edinburgh gets a Saturday link to Split on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, but with a quirk: it runs 15 May to 19 June, then pauses for July and August before returning 4 September to 2 October. If you want peak-summer Dalmatian coast weather from Scotland, this route won't get you there — shoulder season or nothing.
Two existing routes also change London airports for 2027. Flights to the Greek island of Skiathos move from Gatwick operations to Heathrow Terminal 5, running Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 20 May to 11 September — more seats and full onward connections. Meanwhile Perugia, gateway to Umbria, shifts the other way, from Heathrow to London City. Saturday flights start 1 May, and from 21 May the route expands to five weekly departures (adding Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays) until the season closes on 28 September. That's a meaningful upgrade for a quiet corner of central Italy that's historically been under-served.
For travellers, this is a useful spread: fjord country from Heathrow for a long season, the French Riviera from Glasgow, the Adriatic from Edinburgh, plus easier access to both Skiathos and Umbria depending on which London airport suits you. The Saturday-only Scottish routes book up fast in good weather windows, so early planning pays off — and note the Split gap in high summer before you fix your dates.
